Well and March is almost here, my loves. The sun has shown its face four of the last seven days here in New York City. I missed it so much! (Watch this segue.) But what YOU won’t miss is any queer pop culture news ’cause I’ve rounded it all up for you below. (I know, I know: BOOO!!!)
+ At last night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, Ariana DeBose became the first openly queer women of color and the first Afro-Latina to win! (Lots of outlets reporting she was the first queer woman to win, but Carmen points out that Angelina Jolie won in the ’90s when she was out already as bisexual.)
You have so much to be proud of, @ArianaDeBose ❤️ Congratulations on taking home the Actor® for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role #sagawards pic.twitter.com/aqvzk1jAkv

+ This is super weird: On the heels of the announcement that Jennifer Beals is joining the cast, and with just a few episodes left this season, Ilene Chaiken is out at the Law and Order: Organized Crime showrunner.
+ What actual drama teacher’s think about last week’s play on Euphoria.
+ Meagan Tandy’s been sneaking in Wildmoore stuff to Batwoman ALL SEASON.
+ Looks like Star Trek Picard’s “plotting lesbian adventure across time” on Paramount+.
+ Paget Brewster, are you bisexual?
I tried girls in the 90's. It didn't take. But I regret nothing.

+ Speaking of the 90s, Madonna and Sandra Bernhard fell out as friends because of a love triangle???
+ Queer pop is continuously rising.
+ 10 cartoon characters who were allowed to be visibly queer.
+ Dear Evan Hansen star Jessica Phillips comes out as queer.
+ I love, love, love this Fiona Shaw profile. She talks about her wife in it and she hardly ever talks about her wife.
